[Verse 1]
You said goodbye with a smile, like it didn’t weigh a thing
I packed my tears in a suitcase, danced through the sting
Your coat’s still on my chair, like you might walk back in
But I’ve been spinning solo, in a world that won’t begin
[Pre-Chorus]
You haunt the quiet hours, the mirror’s soft reply
But sugar, if you missed me, you’d be knocking, not just sly
[Chorus]
Now I’m dancing with the echo, in heels too high to feel
Laughing with the silence, pretending it’s all real
The record skips on your name, in that old swing-time refrain
And I’m swirling through the sorrow, like love’s a sweet champagne
[Verse 2]
Took the long way through the city, let the lights call me home
Met a man who played piano, said I shouldn’t be alone
He wore your kind of cologne, had your stubborn little grin
But when he asked for my number, I just blew a kiss to the wind
[Pre-Chorus]
I toast to broken maybes, in smoky candlelight
But darling, if you meant it, you'd have fought the fading night
[Chorus]
Now I’m dancing with the echo, in heels too high to feel
Laughing with the silence, pretending it’s all real
The record skips on your name, in that old swing-time refrain
And I’m swirling through the sorrow, like love’s a sweet champagne
[Bridge]
Trumpets cry where your voice once stayed
Your ghost and I, we’ve learned to sway
Even shadows know when not to stay
But I’ll keep dancing anyway
[Final Chorus]
Still dancing with the echo, twirling lies into charm
Waltzing with the heartache, in another lover’s arms
The spotlight’s on my lonely, but I bow like I’m okay
And toast to all your maybes, as the swing band plays away
